關于七夕情人節的英語作文 篇1

　　Legend has it that on this evening, Niulang, or the Cowherd, and Zhinu, or the Weaving Maid, meet each other for their annual tryst on a bridge formed by sympathetic magpies over the Milky Way. If it happens to rain that night, a Chinese elder might say it is Zhinu weeping after meeting her husband Niulang on the Milky Way.

　　傳說每年農歷7月7日的晚上，牛郎(牧牛人)和織女(編織女工)會在由喜鵲搭建在銀河之上的橋上重逢。如果那天下雨，中國的老人就會告訴你，牛郎織女在銀河兩岸流淚。

　　This day used to be commemorated as a festival for girls and also for young people in love. As the story goes, there was once a cowherd, Niulang, who lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law. But his sister-in-law disliked and abused him, and the boy was forced to leave home with only an old cow for company.

　　The cow, however, was a former god who had violated celestial rules and had been sent to earth in bovine form. One day he led Niulang to a lake where fairies came bathe on earth; among them was Zhinu, the most beautiful girl and a skilled seamstress. The two fell in love at first sight and were soon married. They had a son and a daughter, and their happy life was held up as an example for hundreds of years in China.

　　Yet in the eyes of the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Deity in Taoism, marriage between a mortal and a fairy was strictly forbidden. He sent his empress to fetch Zhinu. Niulang grew desperate when he discovered Zhinu had been taken back to heaven. Driven by Niulang's misery, the cow told him to turn its hide into a pair of shoes after it died.

　　The magic shoes whisked off Niulang, who carried his two children in baskets strung from a shoulder pole, off on a chase after the empress. The pursuit enraged the empress, who took her hairpin and slashed it across the sky, creating the Milky Way which separated husband from wife. But all was not lost. An army of magpies, moved by their love and devotion, formed a bridge across the Milky Way to reunite the family. Even the Jade Emperor was touchhed and allowed Niulang and Zhinu to meet once a year on the seventh night of the seventh month. It is said that at that night, children can hear the private conversation between the Weaving Maid and the Cowherd under the grape trellis. This is how Qixi came to be.

　　In actuality, the festival can be traced back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). People would traditionally look up at the sky and spot a bright star in the constellation Aquila, as well as the star Vega, identified as Niulang and Zhinu. The two stars shine on opposite sides of the Milky Way.

　　Qixi is also known as the "Begging for Skills Festival" or "Daughters' Festival." In the past, girls would hold ceremonies on the day and pray to Zhinu for wisdom, dexterity and a satisfying marriage. In some parts of Shandong Province, young women would offer fruit and pastries to her in return for a blessing of intelligence. If spiders were seen to weave webs on sacrificial objects, it was believed that Zhinu was offering positive feedback. In other parts of China, the custom was for seven close friends to gather to make dumplings. They would put into three separate dumplings a needle, a copper coin and a red date, which represented perfect needlework skills, good fortune and an early marriage respectively.

　　Young women in southern China wove small handicrafts with colored paper, grass and thread. Weaving and needlework competitions would be held to see who had the best hands and the brightest mind, prerequisites for being a good wife and mother.

　　However, these ancient traditions and customs have been slowly dying out. Fewer people than ever gaze at the heaven on that day to pick out the two stars shining bright on either side of the Milky Way -- that is, if they even know on which day Qixi falls.

　　The Double Seventh Festival, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar

　　This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxurious greens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars, and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star, which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid, and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.

　　Long, long ago, there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day, a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhand farmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately, the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.

　　With the help of celestial cattle, the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife, the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowy river appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyalty to love touched magpies, so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar monthh. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

　　Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival, while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquet of Emperor Taizong and his concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties, special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.

　　Today some traditional customs are still observed in rural areas of China, but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However, the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maid has taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years, in particular, urban youths have celebrated it as Valentine's Day in China. As a result, owners of flower shops, bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.

　　8月19日，是農歷七月初七，也就是中國傳統的七夕情人節。今年七夕，我家居住的小區融科蔚城開展了題為“融科仲夏夜，七夕愛蔚央”的業主活動。不但有節目可看，還有游戲可玩。湖面上還搭了一座鵲橋，上面掛滿了鮮花。射燈照在鵲橋上，映出一橋七彩的五角星，就象一道彩虹。

　　節目由我最喜歡的時尚街舞開始。五位大哥哥在強勁的音樂伴奏下，一會兒單手倒立，一會兒連翻三四個跟斗，甚至整個人用頭頂在地上旋轉。掌聲此起彼伏。一段歌舞串燒將節目掀起了高潮。有一場歌手與觀眾的對歌，在觀眾連續對上兩首歌以后，那個歌手說要出個難題，用英文歌考考大家。結果居然唱的是我上幼兒園時就會唱的英文字母歌，讓大小業主們樂得哈哈大笑。節目中間還穿插著抽獎和互動游戲，讓業主觀眾們心跳不已。

　　節目還沒結束，我就迫不及待地跑去玩游戲。打地鼠、釣魚各玩了幾次，可都不是我的強項。跳了一會兒蹦蹦床，可惜漏氣了，蹦不起來。真掃興。后來，我們一家人都在許愿樹下許了愿，我偷看了爸爸媽媽許的愿，原來都是希望我健康快樂，學習進步什么的。其實不看也能想到，這就是他們最大的愿望。至于我的愿望嘛，不能說，據說說了就不靈了。當然，可以稍微透露一點點，是關于我自己的“面子”問題。我的力氣太小，寫著我愿望的袋子怎么也扔不到樹上，只有勞煩老爸幫忙，可他的力氣又太大了，扔了好幾次都直接穿過許愿樹掉了下來，好容易才把我的愿望扔到樹上掛著。看來我的愿望要實現恐怕有點難度。媽媽可了不起了，竟然一次就成功地把她的愿望扔上了許愿樹。不過，總算我們的愿望都能實現吧。

　　節目看完，游戲也玩了，美好的愿望也掛到了許愿樹上，我捧著漂亮的荷燈依依不舍地回家。(荷花中心有一個箭串著兩顆心的小燈，紅藍兩種顏色交替閃爍。實在太漂亮了，沒舍得往水里放。)往回走的路上，看到湖面上飄著星星點點的荷燈，好似天上的星星落在了水里。可抬頭一看，星星不還在天上嗎?水里的荷燈與天上的星星相映成趣，真是美不勝收。

　　晚上，我做了一個夢，夢到牛郎織女的一雙兒女長大成人。他們買回了筆記本電腦和攝像頭，上了寬帶，還教會了牛郎使用。在七夕與織女相會時又教會了織女。這下好啦，他們再也不用苦苦等待那一年一度的七夕了。每天，他們通過網絡交流，通過攝像頭看到對方，又能通過麥克風對話。那寬闊的銀河形同虛設，再也擋不住牛郎織女相見了。

　　大人們常說，“愿天下有情人終成眷屬”。怎么就沒有人用現代科技幫助一下牛郎織女呢?讓他們到現在還在飽受相思之苦。
